When Dr. J. Edwin Orr wanted to write a biography of Toronto's famous pastor, Oswald J. Smith, he was concerned about how Smith would respond to the complimentary nature of the work. He soon realized, however, that Dr. Smith was gracious and humble enough to take both criticism and compliments in stride. "He is big enough to be small enough to give the glory to the Lord," wrote Orr.
What a description for us to emulate!
How about you? Are you big enough to be small enough to give the glory to God?
A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor. Proverbs 29:23
